So I had a terrific first RP session today, and I read the warning about how it’s all stored locally and may be lost if I clear my cache. No worries, there’s an export option to export the entire scenario or just the character data or just the chats. I exported first the whole enchilada and then just the current chat thread and gunzipped the json data… and here my troubles begin.
All I want is a basic transcript:
AI blah blah blah
Me yadda yadda yadda
… etc. What I get is this 700KB file with a structure that’s way over my head (I’m strictly SQL, and I can manage maybe 2 or 3 levels of JSON).
I found where each comment and response is marked with a “message” node, e.g. “message”:“yadda yadda yadda” but there’s no indication which of us (AI or me) said it.
So I figured, I’ll just click-and-drag down the browser window to select all the chat history and paste it into a Libre Office doc or something.
No dice; it omits the character names like they don’t exist and just gives me the conversation text itself.
I can’t be the only person who wants to save a chat transcript, but I feel extremely stupid right now! What obvious command/UI element am I missing?
Might be a related post? You can export individual threads in Message form with the
message text only (in [AI]/[USER]) format - use '/import' command to import
.I did find a way to fetch all the elements from JSON that use the “message” tag with “characterID” on the end of it, and worked out some sed commands that convert “characterID” into the name of the character speaking. So if there’s not a simpler approach in the UI at least I do have a workaround.
Assuming we’re talking about perchance.org/ai-character-chat here, it sounds like you’re looking for the “message text only” export option? You can choose it from the drop down menu when you export an individual thread.
